Right now, the Lupus America℠ program is only available in a few areas*, but we are growing.

Residents in eligible areas can join the fight against lupus by donating usable household items. These donated items then are sold to for-profit wholesale buyers. The proceeds from the sale of donated items are used to support vital programs for individuals with lupus and their families in communities like yours.
